The reference to Gregory of Nazianzus' role in the loss of Sappho's work is considered by scholars to be an apocryphal tale with no basis. It should not be restored without citation of a source, at least.

Also, the title of this article (Gregory Nazianzus) would seem to be in error. I believe Nazianzus is the place, and that Nazianzen is the most common English form of the adjective meaning "from Nazianzus." Thus, it is Gregory of Nazianzus or Gregory Nazianzen of whom we should speak, not Gregory Nazianzus.

I would support a page move as you suggest. TCC (talk) (contribs) 18:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Support as well, per nom; plus as far as I know, he's better known as "Nazianzen". Should we put a move tag on the page? Carl.bunderson 19:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, I've made the appropriate minor changes to the article and done the move. Wareh 16:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feast Day

Isn't his feast day January 2nd in the Western church and January 25 in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches? Which brings up an interesting question -- how to handle differences between East and West. IS there a way to show both? GMPHARO 00:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, I changed the box to show both. GMPHARO 00:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
